This has me confused. I just started a new ktor project and this was amongst the things that I got as part of the ktor project generator page. Apparently intellij doesn’t recognize startsWith as a method that can be called on a string 😮 Any clues?

@Vadim Briliantov could you take a look?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I cannot reproduce it so most likely this is an IDE problem.

[Arnab]

If it is relevant, the older ktor project I have, has the following return type when it comes to call.request.path() -> `kotlin.String`while the newest ktor version returns a String type. Does this matter?

[Arnab]

@Aleksei Tirman [JB]: Maybe, but I am using the same IDE for both the older and the new project, so how do I go about troubleshooting this?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Can you share a project where you observe an error?

Note that I had to change kotlin version to 1.7.0 in the plugin in order to get the build to complete

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it even with your versions of IDEA and the Kotlin plugin.

[Arnab]

Strange, I’ll try upgrading IDEA version.

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

You can try to disable all non-bundled plugins. Also, you can file an issue.

[Arnab]

Interesting, the newest IDEA version seems to solve this. Very strange indeed.
